Never heard of such a thing and it sounds unappealing to me... too much of that stick-to-your-toungue texture going on, if you mean the basic peanut sauce for buckwheat noodles.But maybe it wouldn't be so bad if you thinned that peanut sauce with a lot of soy sauce...?

it is an indonesian influence. A Dutch friend who spent half his life in Amsterdam and half in Indonesia always raved about this combination. As far as I know it is the traditional indonesian spicy peanut sauce, which is thinner than a lot of other kinds. This recipe is very close to my friend's: http://www.melroseflowers.com/mkic/in... . Fries are also served with peanut sauce and mayonnaise, which is called, without any political-correctness, "French Fry War." But politically correct or not, it is pretty delicious.

Better, sometimes. I had a gado gado a couple of weeks ago that was disappointing because it was mostly fried potatoes and not enough crunchy vegetables. Though if the fries had been hot and crispy I might have been happier.
